TExES Master EC-4 Generalist
The best product by far for the Elementary Comprehensive ExCET examination is the TExES Master EC-4 Generalist. ExCET Master 2003 has information for the Elementary Comprehensive exam and there is a money-back-guarantee for that exam - but the product is about 75% for the ExCET Professional Development exam and only 25% for the Elementary Comprehensive exam.

When the new TExES exams came out, we decided rather than have one product to cover 3 exams, we would produce separate products for each exam. The new TExES EC-4 Generalist exam is essentially the same as the Elementary Comprehesive ExCET exam. It covers a broad range of curriculum: math, reading, social studies, language, music, art, physical education, etc. The only difference is the the TExES EC-4 Generalist exam also covers Early Childhood. The ExCET tested for Early Childhood separately. So, all 184 flash cards are devoted to these subjects. ExCET Master only has about 30 flash cards for the Elementary Comprehensive exam.
In addition, there is a full practice exam - with answers and full explanations as to why the correct answer is the best choice. Additionally, Dr. Sandra McCune, who authored the product, does some teaching in the discussion after giving the answer. You have a great opportunity to make your practice exam a great learning experience. I suggest you have a stack of blank flash cards as you practice. After making your choice, go the the back of the exam and determine if you made the right choice. Then, read the discussion. You can probably learn something new on each question. Every time you come across something that seems important, make yourself a flash card so that you can put that information to permanent memory before you take your exam.
Both the TExES Master EC-4 Generalist flash cards and practice exam are broken down numerically just like the ExCET and TExES exams are:
Domain I......40% English Language Arts and Reading
Domain II.....15% Mathematics
Domain III....15% Social Studies
Domain IV....15% Science
Domain V.....15% Fine Arts, Health, and Physical Education
The flash cards are also color coded.
Another great feature of the TExES Master EC-4 Generalist manual is that it has an On-Line Review with web sites featuring information on every Domain listed above. Each person knows which areas he or she needs to improve. For example, if you need help in math, go the those web sites. Make flash cards, copy and paste, or simply study. There about 250 web sites with useful information. The best plan is to set up a schedule: divide the number days you have to study into the total number of web sites and visit that many web sites per day. If you miss a day, you will know that you have to make up for it.
Over the 7 years I have had ExCET Master, I have wanted to have a product devoted to this exam. I was never able to find someone who had the broad range of knowledge necessary to create such a product - until I met Dr. Sandra McCune! She is the only person I have ever known capable of creating TExES Master EC-4 Generalist!
